President Trump is trying to block sex assault accuser Summer Zervos from having her day in court by asking a panel of judges to stay her defamation case, lawyers for the former “Apprentice” contestant said in court papers filed Tuesday.

Mariann Wang, an attorney for the former reality TV contestant, says Trump is “motivated by the desire to prevent Ms. Zervos from having her day in court, which could cause significant prejudice to her.”

“There is a real risk that memories will fade, or that evidence will be lost, if Ms. Zervos is deprived of the opportunity to begin discovery for months or longer,” Wang writes in a brief filed with Manhattan’s Appellate Division.
